Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and chop all the vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels to prevent steaming.
In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re tender and caramelized at the edges.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the top.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the feta is slightly melted and golden in spots.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or side with grilled chicken, fish, or a simple grain like quinoa or couscous.

Notes

For the best flavor, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet — space helps the vegetables caramelize properly.
Choose a block of feta in brine for superior creaminess and taste.
Add chickpeas or lentils for extra protein.
Use whatever vegetables are in season — cauliflower, carrots, or butternut squash work beautifully.
A drizzle of lemon juice or balsamic glaze before serving adds a lovely tangy finish.
This dish can be served warm, at room temperature, or even cold the next day — perfect for meal prep or picnics.
